Smooth, tart on its own, sweetens a touch when paired with nice monkfish and fennel dish. — 7 months ago

Domaine Georges Noëllat

Les Beaux Monts Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2016

Initially quite reduced and aromatically closed but eventually opens up to reveal its Vosne perfume. The palate is impeccable though, with excellent density and richness, succulent fruit and acids and a long saline-mineral finish. — 7 months ago

Domaine François Raveneau

Monts Mains Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2018

2018 vintage. Double decanted and tasted after one hour at approx 59-60 degrees. Medium Chablis body. Lilacs, lemon curd, minerals aplenty along with a slightly curious, white pepper, finishing splash. Obviously too soon as this could easily stretch two decades. Saying this as a decided Chablis non-fan but this was arguably the best white (sparkling or flat) I've had in quite a spell. Le woof. 10.25.25. — 8 months ago

Raveneau is always very different from the usual standard Chablis profile

After a couple hours in a glass this opens up with beautiful vosne fruit. Sour cherries, licorice, black pepper, wild strawberries. Supple tannin that still seems to scream more time needed. Good stuff. Incredible QPR. — 4 years ago

La Côte des Monts Damnés Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2018

I've had worse! But 2017 edges this one out slightly. This 2018 is less complex, but shows pleasant flavors of green apple, melon, grass... a stiffer finish than previous vintages.

Les Beaux Monts Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Good, not great at all. Tannins are off the charts and overwhelm the fruit. I’ll revisit tomorrow to see how or if it has softened. Must be tons of stem in here, good for aging but distracting and a bit disappointing. — 4 years ago

Certainly not as rare as the Ponsot’s Clos des Monts Luisants, but as soon as I saw this on the wine list at reasonable price, I knew this was what I wanted to order.

The nose opens with lemon oil, white peach, crushed stones, and subtle hazelnut. The palate is supple yet lively, with vibrant acidity framing ripe orchard fruit and a cool, chalk-driven core. A faint floral note and gentle oak spice add complexity. Elegant with refined balance.

I haven’t tried a bad ‘petits Monts’ Drouhin may be the best but lookout for mugneret too. I need to try to Louis latour just to see if they’re on point as well

@Alex Lallos completely agree on Mugneret. Incredible depth and completeness there.
